we have had a setback in the welding of these pumps.
The fixture was off on some of them (we used both new OEM and new Pro
Tec compression and exit nozzles) so we had to backtrack a bit on some
of
them.
The hardest part has been trying to nail down the price while still
implementing all these changes. Trying to keep the costs as low as
possible has been crucial since the skis are over 10 years old now.

I don't care for it. Waaaay too purpose built (limited use).
Yeah, what wax said...first thing I think of is 3D.

how so? ive thought about doing it to my ski also
Interesting concept. I had similar idea in mind but 2 bad points took me off this road.
*) Not sure how the ski will react with so much foam taken off at the back. Have you check if the ski will still float if engine bay is under water ?
*) how long can the rear panel resist to strong landings/jumps without the side wall ?
As I said I really like the idea, especially if you are coming from a surfing background.

how do you think it is ltd use? you are in the tray anyways so whats the biggie the sides aren't there... you use the footstraps as foot holds so i don't see the problem there.. in regards to structural integrity... look at pancakes hull it is stronger and lighter than a stock hull... it's all about reinforcement. carbon fiber, texalium, and other composites combined with other resins and chemicals can make it damn near unbreakable. using a higher density foam will compensate for the lack of foam in the rear around the tray area

I think the structual aspect could be worked with through reinforcement, etc. I personally use the sides of my ski to turn with or weight the ski depending on water conditions.
Does anyone else do that? I would think without the gunwales in place, it would be tough to ride. I'm sure everything just takes some time to get used to.

When running in the ocean side by side with a buddy, you can't safely rub rails (hull has battle scars to prove it
. Also, I am always repositioning my feet in my tray and jamming them into sides and corners. I NEVER ride with my feet in one place. My riding style is more like a racer (that only freerides).

Micmac and I have been toying with doing it to his ski... Our two concerns were, 1 strength... all that extra vertical glass must make it 2x as strong and 2nd was with shart turns if it would still lay down and carve...
We still might do it.
